4.1 SOFTWARE

The current version of CEREC 3D includes a variety of tools for mapping the patient’s occlusion and articulation (static and functional) and for the automated design of the occlusal surfaces.

- The DENTAL DATABASE contains various sets of data which can be selected according to the specific situation.
- CORRELATION creates a precise and adjustable copy of the existing situation.
- REPLICATION enables the dentist to create an optical impression of any chosen occlusal surface (either contralateral in the patient’s mouth or from a separate model). This optical impression can then be placed manually on the preparation.
- ANTAGONIST maps the static occlusion of the antagonists.
- ARTICULATION maps the surface of a functionally generated path (FGP).

Number of occlusal contacts of the casts before and after placement of the different crowns (contacts of the restaurations excluded!).

By combining DENTAL DATABASE, CORRELATION/REPLICATION with the ANTAGONIST and ARTICULATION tools the dentist is in a position to create functional occlusal surfaces on the computer monitor – manually, semi-automatically or automatically. These occlusal surfaces require only very little subsequent adjustment.

The manual reworking requirement can be reduced from approx. 400 μm (DENTAL DATABASE) to approx. 5 μm (CORRELATION plus ANTAGONIST).

Provided that the equipment parameters are set properly, the dentist can dispense entirely with manual corrections.

To determine the occlusal contact precision of CEREC crowns and laboratory-made Empress crowns respectively, models of natural teeth were measured prior to preparation and after placement of the restorations. This comparison did not reveal any significant differences between the CEREC and Empress crowns. Source: Frankenberger

CONCLUSION Precise occlusal surfaces can be designed on the computer monitor. These require practically no subsequent adjustment in the patient’s mouth.
